The Sweetwater Ranch vineyard produces grapes with intense flavors and individuality that sets it apart from other Napa Cabernets. The 2003 vintage was fairly cool with hot periods throughout the growing season. Despite the weather pattern, the season provided ideal combinations of cool to warm days and evenings. This gave the grapes intense flavors and overall balance, which make this Sweetwater Ranch a beautifully bold Cabernet Sauvignon.
